Burd Ellen is the nom de guerre of Debbie Armour- mother, rager and sumptuously gifted folk singer. Although all the material on her debut album "Silver Came" is traditional, Armour's music slugs from many jugs- from avant garde hip hop to punk-prophets like Siouxsie Sioux and Kate Bush. This breadth of interests helps christen "Silver Came" with an emotional range and a raw inventiveness which is all too rare in contemporary folk circles.
This accounts for some of her song choices. Armour plunges her scalpel deep into the corpus of British folk song and reports back with shapes obscure and bloody. Her reading of Sweet Lemany retains all the peculiar, spiralling ornaments of Peter Bellamy's version but applies rich harmonium drones that feel like rainbow-spewing cataracts gouged deep into the black earth. While her version of Lou Killen's Bramble Briar has the graceful pathos of a lone acrobat sashaying down the corde lisse in an empty Big Top.
Raised on the Isle of Mull, Armour has performed in Gaelic since childhood and sings a clutch of unaccompanied songs here which have a mysterious, elemental beauty but are probably about getting your boots dirty when attempting to shepherds cow herds across some god-forsaken Hebridean field.
Special mention must go to the two other members of Burd Ellen- Lucy Duncan (aka Luki) and Gayle Brogan (aka Pefkin)- who invest the songs with drama and diversity with a range of instruments including piano, violin, psaltery, assorted electronic debris and some sensual vocal harmonies. Props too to engineer Jer Reid whose background in hardcore and improv helps add a layer of celestial crud to the recording which confirms Burd Ellen as a more sonically adventurous counterpart to contemporary folk/ punk-primitives Stick In The Wheel and Lankum.
